Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

node-nfc-nci

NXP NFC NCI Linux Node wrapper

Install

npm install @vhs/node-nfc-nci

Note: See Requirements for installation requirements

Usage

const nci = require("node-nfc-nci");

This module exports an NCI interface object with single method: listen.

listen(callback: (context: EventEmitter) => void)

When called, listen will attempt to initialize the device (on a separate thread) via the embedded linux_libnfc-nci library and if successful, immediately call the callback with a context object.

The context object passed to the callback is an event emitter and enables asynchronous operations between reading tags.

See Events below for more information about the events. See Context below for more information about the context object.

Events

| Event | Argument(s) | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | error | message<string> | emits on any error, even for errors when attempting to initialize the device. | | arrived | tag<Tag> | emits on NFC tag arrival | | departed | tag<Tag> | emits on NFC tag departure. Provide a copy of the original arrived tag. If NDEF data has been updated during the tag's presence it will not be reflected in departure. | | written | current<Tag>, previous<Tag> | emits on successful tag NDEF write. Provides updated tag and a copy of the original arrived tag prior to update. |

Objects and Interfaces

Context

Methods

context.setNextWrite(type<string>, content<string>)

Sets data to write for next tag to be detected.

This will attempt to indiscriminately write the next tag that arrives.

context.clearNextWrite()

Clears the pending next write.

context.hasNextWrite()<bool>

Check if there is a next write pending.

context.immediateWrite(type<string>, content<string>)

Attempts to immediately write to any device that is present. However, tag arrived event provides a tag.write function which is an alias of immediateWrite but likely more practical because immediateWrite depends on a device being present.

Tag Object

For properties, see example below.

Methods

tag.write(type<string>, content<string>)

This method attempts to immediately write to which ever tag is present.

As tag.write is a thin wrapper to context.immediateWrite, there are no guarantees that this write will only write to the tag specified in the tag object that was passed.

Acceptable types

  • Text - writes en lang text to the NDEF content |

Example of a typical Tag Object payload

{
  "technology": {
    "code": 9,
    "name": "Type A - Mifare Ul",
    "type": "MIFARE_UL"
  },
  "uid": {
    "id": "04:e1:5f:d2:9c:39:80",
    "type": "NFCID1",
    "length": 7
  },
  "ndef": {
    "size": 868,
    "length": 18,
    "read": 11,
    "writeable": true,
    "type": "Text",
    "content": "hello world"
  }
}

Example

const nci = require("node-nfc-nci");

nci.listen((context) => {
    context.on("error", (msg) => console.log(msg));

    context.on("arrived", (tag) => {
        console.log(`ARRIVED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);

        if (!context.hasNextWrite()) {
            if (tag.uid.id === "04:e1:5f:d2:9c:39:80") {
                tag.write("Text", "hello world");
            }
        }
    });

    context.on("written", (tag, previous) => {
        console.log(`PREVIOUS: ${JSON.stringify(previous)}`);
        console.log(`UPDATED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);
    });

    context.on("departed", (tag) => {
        console.log(`DEPARTED: ${JSON.stringify(tag)}`);

        if (tag.ndef.content !== "foobar") {
            context.setNextWrite("Text", "foobar"); // will attempt write on any next tag
        }
    });
});
